At which point you've broken a separate law, and have been held in contempt of court. Ditto the copyright infringement example.
If you break the law, and then willfully break the law again, you can't expect to be treated with leniency.
No, that's a standard.

No, it's in the middle of the inevitable steps of escalation. A speeding ticket becomes an armed agent hitting you with a stick and jail time if you wait long enough. As does a court judgment over an illegally downloaded song.
